GlenAllachie 10 Year Old French Oak Finish Single Malt
From Batch 2 of GlenAllachie's Virgin Oak Series, this golden bronze malt was first matured in American oak ex-Bourbon barrels before undergoing additional maturation in hogsheads made of French oak (Quercus Robur), sourced from the Haute-Garonne region, for approximately 18 months. The fine-grained wood was air dried for 15 months before hosting the GlenAllachie spirit. The secondary maturation period has added silky tannins, sweet spices and fruit notes to this delectable, earthy single malt.
Torabhaig Sound of Sleat Single Malt Whisky
Torabhaig Sound of Sleat Single Malt Whisky is a distinctive expression from the Isle of Skye’s newest distillery, showcasing a harmonious balance of gentle peat smoke and coastal character. Made using traditional methods and matured in carefully selected casks, it reflects Torabhaig’s commitment to producing a modern yet authentically Highland style of whisky. The spirit carries a youthful vibrancy while already displaying impressive depth, shaped by the maritime climate and the distillery’s meticulous approach to fermentation and distillation. The aroma offers soft, earthy peat intertwined with fresh orchard fruit, malt sweetness and a subtle saline edge reminiscent of sea spray. On the palate it is smooth and well‑structured, delivering flavours of smoked barley, green apple, vanilla and light spice, supported by a clean mineral note that adds definition. The finish is long, gently smoky and slightly briny, leaving a satisfying warmth and a lingering hint of charred oak. This release is an excellent introduction to Torabhaig’s style, ideal for sipping neat or exploring as part of a coastal whisky flight.
